we hear a lot about pedifiles within the church. which the church keeps relocating these men based on the belief that a priest can do no wrong.
there was the crusades where Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, Jews were all slaughtered by the Catholics.
one of the popes declared that prostitution in a nessary evil. since the pope is believed to speak on behalf of God, the Catholic church itself hired protestutes.
you used to have to pay money to have a sin forgiven. the funny thing is you could have your sins forgiven in advance. so if you planned on commiting a crime you would confess and pay the money. the church would do nothing and let you commit the crime. robbery costed 2 dollars and robbery of the church costed 1.50 cents. that seems weird. you would think it would be higher to rob a church.
the church used to sell indulgences which would save dead family members and themselves from slavery after death called purgatory. since these were very expensive, the rich were the only ones who could aford heaven.

I am sure that there are lots of Catholics that have committed many crimes. i am sure that there are many Protestant organizations that have committed crimes. There is going to be corruption and crime in nearly every group because people are parts of these groups.
If you study the teachings of the catholic faith, you will find that the people who committed these crimes are acting contrary to the teachings of the catholic faith. Or you can just simply state, "Ah, this is what Catholics do, so this is muct be what the Catholic Church teaches"
The second way of thinking takes a lot less effort and thinking and is what a lot of people do.

The church of Pergamos used to be centered by means of Nicolaitanes - Nicolaitanism), and used to be a Christian heresy first acknowledged (two times) within the Book of Revelation of the New Testament. The church of Pergamos is blamed for having them who preserve their "doctrines" (Rev two:15). They have been apparently a category of professing Christians, who sought to introduce into the church a fake freedom or licentiousness, therefore abusing Paul's doctrine of grace (Compare Pe2 two:15, Pe2 two:sixteen, Pe2 two:19), and have been generally equal with people who held the doctrine of Baalam (q.v.), Rev two:14. The Church of Pergamos used to be from 313--A.D. -- 606. This spans the time from Constantine's Edict of Toleration for Christians to what's regarded the primary precise precise pope and the beginnings of the Catholic Church. This is the basis method constructing as much as the Catholic Church. Because of the heresy/doctrine/lies which entered the Catholic church, it is topics suffered intellectual and sexual wellbeing issues in later existence, they have been additionally incredibly proficient and used to prop up an empire. The decline of the Roman Empire resulted in the Spanish Inquisition > People deluded by means of heretics accusing persons of being heretics, which result in the worst torture of people possible. (A result of evil, evil isn't a monster, evil is lies) In 1209, Louis VIII of France by way of Pope Innocent III in Bezier raised Catholic forces and massacred 20,000 Gnostic’s who made each attempt to comply with the lessons of Jesus. They believed that there have been 2 "gods" — one malevolent responsible of all seen and fabric matters held accountable for all of the atrocities within the Old Testament, and a benevolent god accountable for the message of Jesus.

Try reading real history in a BOOK. Hollywood history is not a reliable source.
